Holeinone – You
have a port removal scheduled for tomorrow? Prayers…. Beautiful flower bed… are those Iceland
poppies and Lobelia in the front?LeeA – Yikes! New
construction? We were in our house for two years before we tackled the back
yard. And it was a big one. In 7 years,
I’ve gone through 3 landscapers because the first two were idiots. Now we have
it just about where we want it.JWoo – Funny!
That’s me, too!!! And believe me, I’d bite anyone who got too close!!!4sewwhat – Cute pic!
Pawprint – So
glad Annie Mae is recovering… I’m sure she’ll get her bearings in no time. We have horrible hardpan soil here… dig down
about two feet and it’s like hitting concrete. We’re in Zone 8, and it’s gonna
be 106 this weekend. Regarding pots – if it’s hot where you are, you’ll need to
water pots every single day, or the moisture will just be sucked out of them by
the end of the day. I did have two nice pots on wheeled platforms that I would
move around, but two days without water and one of them bit the dust –
literally. So I just planted them where the sprinkler would hit.Alyson –
beautiful pic – lovely grandbabies!Chevy – LOVE that
polymer stuff. We need it here in the heat. Are those your legs in the
turquoise crocs? Lovely!!! Yes, my Darling, you ARE the Queen of the
Tchotchkes!!! (And I have that same birdbath!)Susan – Good eye!!
My mom kept recycling and reusing everything from jars to plastic bags and
aluminum foil. I told her when she started washing and drying paper coffee
filters she was moving to Shady Pines. (Where Sophia came from on Golden
Girls.)Teka –Love the
washday pic… wonder how old that is?Gardengumby – you
had yourself a busy day!FierceBluebird – what
a magical tea party!!!! And another funny pic…2TA – Hmmmm …. Hot
flashes just might be worth it….Nettie – love the
kittie pics, and they are all true. You ROCK on that riding mower!Cami – sending you
gentle “feel better” hugs…Luvmygoats – we
are on water restrictions here… we have the sprinklers come on in the middle of
the night twice a week… but when it gets to be over 100 (like now) DH and I go
out and give everyone a drink with the hose after dinner.0 -
Well, I'm not a doctor, but yesterday I played one on the Internet.
I put together my symptoms (sleeping all the time, listless, no energy, inability to lose weight despite being on a 1200 calorie a day diet and exercising five times a week, AND freezing and wearing a sweatshirt even when it's nearly 100 outside) and asked my PCP to run some thyroid tests.
Well, the numbers came back "within normal limits" but I've read that this doesn't really mean much. For instance -
1) My regular thyroid test has always been low normal
2) My first "Free T4" test came back in the bottom fourth of normal
3) My TSH started at 1 (a year ago) and has steadily been increasing to the point that it's now a 5 and borderline high. The brain makes more TSH when it needs more hormones.
4) I am on the same dose of Synthroid I have been for ten years. It's the same dose (25mcg) they give to CHILDREN.
I told DH that I bet my PCP would raise my dosage. Sure enough, got an email from her this morning. She doubled the dosage! But I'll take it slow... I don't want to end up wired all night long. I just want my energy back! I want to enjoy the break I'm getting from the Femara, not miss it because I am sleeping all day.
Supposed to be 106 this weekend... at least we're used to it.
Nighty night, Owlettes!

CHEVY!!!!
Good God woman, there is no such thing as Chochees, and there's no such thing as chachalongs either. Just because you are as old as the dirt at the bottom of the Grand Canyon does NOT mean that you get to just make chit up. And while we're at it .. SHAVE WOMAN! You're never going to make the bucks as a pole dancer with legs looking like this:
Geez. Do you all see how hard it is to keep this woman in line? It's like a full time job.
Good Golly.
Sassypants, you better get back here soon. I can not be expected to do this all by myself.
And CAMI DON'T YOU DARE THINK ABOUT CANCER IN YOUR BLADDER IXNAY ON ATTHEY NOWAY. itty bitty little infection.. maybe... if that.
And all the rest of you just BEHAVE!
And YES FBB, It is time for a Tea party!!! With CAKE! And ICE CREAM. But not it chipped beef on toast. I am not coming if all there is is chipped beef on toast because I don't even like chipped beef on toast. But I'll come if you are going to be ther FBB even if all there is to eat is chipped beef on toast. But I'm bringing some Ice Cream in my backpack (shhhh, don't tell anyone).

Port of Benoa, Indonesia "For Indonesia, a vast country consisting of hundreds of islands, shipping is crucial to economic development. Yet, in Indonesia the role of maritime transport is still relatively small and limited to areas of high economic activity."
You could even have Vinny tattoo Indonesia around the port, that is if you can get Chevy to give him up for an hour or two.

I like tea....and parties. FBB, may I come if I check my paintball gun at the door?

my! 3 pages behind! So sorry Tang that you've had that infection, hope it clears up soon. Do they send out a home nurse to give you the IV antibiotics?
Hope everyone else is doing better. I've had a little problem with lower intestines. Don't know what causing it, thought I had divertilitis. Apparently not, not having the right symptoms. Happened 2 weeks ago. So now I'm only taking the liquid Opifast and see if all of a sudden I'm lactose intolerant. Never had any problems with milk before. If it happens again I should get a looky loo up my colon. Yikes. Never had the full one done, just the flexiscopy thingy about 14 years ago.
Love the pics, love orange kitties. Have 1 in my menagerie.
Sleep tight everyone.

we have to have chocolate cokes at the tea party! Don't like tea! Don't like crocs either. Just saying. Can't we all have paintballs? Do we all have to shave our legs, or just Chevy?
Susan, name it Portia. Fits with Waldo don't you think?
Blessings, was going to ask how the weight thing was going. Hope your thyroid gets stabilized quickly. Once you're feeling better, are you guys planning any trips? Hope DH is feeling up to it.
Yep, we're hitting the 100s this weekend too. Hope my sister gets her pool open.

LOL at phgraham and this: "I'll soon be back to my old angry, disruptive self and posting weird shit."
Blessings - re: landscaping - the HOA requires landscaping within 90 days of completion of the home so we had it designed and did it all now versus in stages. We did our last house in stages but no HOA there.

Oh!!!!!!!! so did you see THAT??? Those wild women are thinking those were MY legs! Damn people anyway! I just KNEW someone would make reference to that!
THESE are my legs....I am the one in the back-ground...And as you can TELL, I am rather note-worthy and infamous as having nice thin legs... and the fur helps sliding around on that pole! .... Brat!
That Lilshit posted my first picture aGAIN! And SHE is saying there are no such things as Chopchertings!
And no I'm not going to no damn Indonesia! That's probably somewhere I don't know... Not even for a chipped beef gravy on toast .... even WITH Vinny!
You found that picture of me, and me widdle-brudder! You are just so jealous! Look at my doll! And I must have been sad! sniff!
See? Now you even got PhylliwiththegunandbigAlice to post on here!
YES Phyllidink, you can bring theIshootneighborkids paintball gun!
Smarty, I was reading your post, and I thought you said you have an orange kitty in your meringue! Ha, ha! Okay... I'm serious now... sorry about your intestinal flare-up... or WHAT did you say?
Who's "Bonnie"...??? Do we have a Bonnie?
Yes 444444444!!! Crocks and Stiletto's! I'm the "babe"!
And Lee! Yes, that is Phylloprisonerofherownwit! SHE is the disruptive one! And we love her... I think if I were governed by an HOA group, they would surely nix my back yard Tshechangs! So I'm not, so therefore I can.
Nettie! I love the cat pictures and video.... Ha, ha! and you are riding your lawnmower? With a dog as your hood-ornament??? Now THAT deserves a comment! And if I could think of one, I would do it...
It looks like you have flip-flops on! One time I said to my little Grand-son, something about him wearing Thongs! (Remember when we used to call them thongs and not flip-flops?) Well, he told ME.... "GRAMS, THEY ARE NOT THONGS, THEY ARE FLIP-FLOPS!!!!"
WTH? I'm even corrected by a little Grand-son!!! So Nettie, which is it? Flip-flops or Thongs?
Take care Susan.... Hope you are feeling better...
Cammi, are you alright? Or as alright as you can be? Geez, we worry about you, and Joey and Katie-Kat! And what's this "thangways" that you just made up and you say that I have??? You mean my garden stuff?
And yes! I AM queen of crocs and thangways, pole dancing and cooking....
And I don't even want to THINK about whatever else you said, about your bladder....
So Morning littlegoats! How can you have Zinnia seeds "blooming?" You mean the seeds you planted are now PLANTS and are not seeds anymore.... because seeds just LAY there, and eventually they will grow into seedlings, and then plants, and THEN bloom... Into FLOWERS! Is that what you meant? Gotcha babe!
Holeinonegolfgirlwhatever! I love your little garden... by now I forget what those trinkalinks are called that THOSE girls said! But they mean "things" that you put in your garden, like old people do! Like me!
And WTH is Zen to Zany? I just don't know anymore.... I just see new words and stuff, and I just don't know...

Last year my yard was just dead weeds and dirt spots. When it was like that I never wondered whose lawn was being mowed when I heard a mower. Now I think, "what the hell is all this costing me???" The good news is that I have something that resembles a GREEN LAWN!
Total strangers now walk up to me and say "Hey, you live across from the library, right?" Me, after a narrow-eyed suspicious look at them, "Yes". Total stranger says, "I thought so. Great looking lawn this year!" Lawns are evidently VERY important in this little town. For once in my life I seem to be conforming! Who knew!!!???!
Lordy, who knew what they were saying last year!
Someone about 20 pages ago asked what group I volunteer with. I volunteer with CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates. We are volunteers that advocate for children who are in our foster care system due to abuse and neglect. We have 30 hours of training and are appointed by a judge for those cases. My part is working with foster youth who are ageing out of the system (can you imagine how horrible that must be for kids?). I have to say that I love it. Most of what I'm doing right now is administrative but I do some work with the kids. The website for our program is www.prairieplainscasa.org. The national site is www.casaforchildren.org.
This is the end of the public service announcement. Now back to your regular programming.
If Nebraska allowed weed, I would bring magical brownies. However, our state only allows irrigation of corn, wheat and lawns. Sorry. Can someone else pick up the slack?

Ok, so again, I was behind, but I’ve read to catch up but there is no way that I will remember everything! So if I don’t comment on something, please forgive me!
Chevy, for me they are definitely Flip Flops….I want NO part of anything called Thong!
And I think I read something about a party with chipped beef on toast and tea and paint ball guns!
Count me in!! Can’t remember who all is attending but it sounds like a fun party to me!Blessings, I too have thyroid issues, however, I have been on 100 mcg of Synthroid for over 10 years now! I am seeing a new PCP on the 9th and this issue will be addressed as I too have been so sleepy an sluggish lately! Also, I too, have found it impossible to lose weight!! But I do not have the issue
with being cold!And yes Chevy, the dog would not leave me alone, he insisted on riding and since it didn’t really bother me, I just let him ride!
Susan…losing posts happens to me too!!
For those feeling bad, hoping you feel better soon! Sorry, I really did read about things you ladies are going through but I can't remember who is feeling what!
I had the massage appointment yesterday, he said I had "moved" a rib probably when I fell, he worked me over until it "popped" back! Wow, did that hurt!! But it feels better today! I didn't know that I had done this, it was causing soreness in and around my back!
Took a little road trip for work today and below is a pic of something that caught my attention! Now you ladies will know a little more about where I live! Oh, and that pic of the croc in the water, could have been taken somewhere close to where I live.

I just found this thread again after a long, long time. Wow, you guys are fun and creative. It will take a while for me to get in the swing of things what with phyllo and crocks and paint guns.

Phylli..... Geez, I have to be really nice to you know! I am so impressed that you work with the kids.... I donate to an Indian charity, but don't volunteer... Good Bless you little Phylli.... Between little kids and Pets, I just feel so sad, when either are abused, or homeless.
We as a group, went to a "home" here, donating a lot of bedding, clothes, etc. for some kids... We were with Coors volunteers, and they gave us a tour through their "home". These little kids, were from 6 to 12... And we saw their little "rooms" all decorated with their favorite things.... just breaks your heart that these kids had a Mom or Dad somewhere that didn't care about them....
So I take bedding and clothes to them sometimes, and just drop it off.... Also the "Treasure Trunk"..... This is a thrift store, with the same organization.... "The Family Tree" that sells clothes, etc. But if you are a homeless woman, you can go there, and get anything you need, for you and your kids... free.
Nettie! I LOVE that little "home!" Ha, ha! In other words you live near the Toolies? That's where we used to go "make-out!"
I was telling my Daughter in Orlando about the Tschachies or whatever you called them, and she wrote back and just cracked me up! She said a group of women and her with the same Realty, were touring houses, and one yard had lots of Tchachaties or whatever, and one woman commented on that, and my DD just laughed so hard! She had never heard of that either! ... So she looked it up, and explained to me what they were....
THEN she said, "I don't know whether it is a verb, a noun, or an adverb!" So I wrote back and said "WTH??? YOU TOO???? Do we even CARE? I don't care if it is a hanging participle! It's not even a real WORD!!!"
So now all my tcharonies have a name..... who knew?

Chevy, I like the cat pic! I kind of feel that way sometimes when I read and have NO clue WTH anyone is talking about! And I don't even know what a "toolie" is! Guess I'll have to look it up! UGH!! No time for that, but curious minds have to know!
0 -
Ok lost a post, but anyway, I like the cat pic, I feel the same way when I read and I have no idea what anyone is talking about! And Chevy, now I have no idea what a toolie was, so of course I googled it and this is what I found:"Toolies are essentially pathetic dirty bastards who deliberately holiday on the Gold Coast during this time trying to pass themselves off as Schoolies"
So now I'm even more confused!
Oh, and I'm not sure if I should have *** the bad word, but it was in the definition I found!0 -
nettie! OMG that is too funny! I have NFI what it means either. That's the fun part.P
